Affiliate Agreement

As used in this Agreement, “we” “us” “our” and “Lab” means YourLabwork, LLC and “Affiliate” “you” and “your” means the applicant submitting the Application and participating in the Program. “Sub Affiliates” means applicants you refer and ultimately participate in the program. “Super Affiliate” means applicant who refers other applicants to the program.

  1. Enrollment: This Agreement will be effective upon the Lab’s acceptance of your affiliate request and your initial participation in the Marketing Program.
  2. Participation in the Affiliate Program: You will be issued an affiliate URL once you become an approved member of the Lab Affiliate Program which will be unique to you and you only, and will allow you to be paid for affiliate referrals.
  3. Proprietary Information: All images, product names & numbers, trade names, trademarks, slogans, and/or designs depicted in any marketing material or links made available to you under this Program (collectively, “Lab’s Materials”) are the proprietary property of Lab or its licensors. Affiliates shall use Lab’s Materials only as specified herein and shall not misappropriate Lab’s Material in any way, e.g., incorporating the same in a domain name.
  4. Services Provided and Use of Lab and Quest Trademarks and URL’s:
    1. In consideration of the compensation set out herein below in Section 5, affiliates are permitted to use the graphical banners and design resources located at http://www.yourlabwork.com/affiliate-resources. If a specific size banner ad is not available, the affiliate may contact the Affiliate Manager at [email protected] and request a new banner graphic be added to the available resources.
    2. Affiliates must not use Lab or Quest Diagnostics Laboratory trademarks in the URL to the right of the domain in the display URL.
    3. It is the intent of this agreement that services provide by Affiliate are strictly “passive.” Lab will not refer to Affiliate as an “Official Site” or represent that any advertisement is sponsored or endorsed by Affiliate or in any other way create the impression that the marketing and/or advertisements associated with this agreement are an endorsement of Lab or Quest Diagnostics Laboratory by Affiliate.
  5. Commissions:
    1. Lab has a three-tiered affiliate rate. These rates may fluctuate with contracted pricing changes as issued by Quest Diagnostic Laboratory and other Lab vendors that we may add in the future.  Our current affiliate tier is general affiliate, preferred affiliate, and premium affiliate. Our current general affiliate commission rate is 10%, preferred is 15%, and premium is a 20% commission on sales. There are a limited number of blood tests (<10% of total) that are paid at rates less than affiliate tiers due to contracted pricing for these specialty tests. Additionally, all functional medicine test kits are paid at a lower affiliate rate due to contracted prices. The premium affiliate rate for all functional medicine test kits is currently 10%. It is 5% for general and preferred affiliates. YourLabwork retains the right to change affiliate rates at any time for any reason.
    2. Lab determines which tier an affiliate may participate in by either potential volume of orders or special relationship with affiliate.
    3. Super-affiliate status can be obtained by referral of 20 or more sub-affiliates or at the discretion of Lab. Super Affiliates currently receive an additional 10% on sales generated by Sub Affiliates except for some specialty lab tests and functional medicine test kits as mentioned in 5a above.
    4. Commissions will be tracked via unique affiliate URL links provided by LAB. Each affiliate is required to use the link provided in advance of the promotion, in order to enable proper tracking. Commissions cannot be paid if the affiliate fails to use the correct link. Commissions will be paid for revenue received net of short-term returns (order cancellations).
    5. Sales generated by Lab promotions, i.e. flash sales, holiday sales, etc. are not subject to Affiliate commissions. If a Lab promotion generates sales via a general non-affiliate sale-specific coupon, those sales are not subject to affiliate commissions.
    6. All payment processing shall be performed by LAB.
    7. All commissions will be subject to federal state, and/or local tax, and LAB will provide a Form 1099 with respect to any commissions or prizes which are earned.
    8. It is the Lab’s goal to pay commissions in a timely fashion. Commissions are paid on a bimonthly basis after it is determined the client has completed the laboratory testing.
  6. No Warranties:
    LAB MAKES NO WARRANTIES TO AFFILIATE OF ANY KIND, EXPRESSED OR IMPLIED, WITH RESPECT TO THE SERVICES LAB PROVIDES YOU. WE EXPRESSLY DISCLAIM ANY IMPLIED WARRANTY OF MERCHANTABILITY OR FITNESS OF THIS SERVICE FOR A PARTICULAR PURPOSE.
  7. Termination: LAB may terminate this agreement immediately, for cause, which shall include but not be limited to:
